#stop being evil

Stop spreading viruses. And stop claiming they’re harmless or good for you to catch. You know better, what you’re supposed to do every single day and people need to stop babying you or making excuses for your eugenicist, white supremacist, fascist and bigoted behavior. And don’t ask incredulously what to do when you’ve been told a million times or just disregard what’s said.

I wish I hadn't learned of this online discourse but here we go

Its evil to rejoice in someone's death. Anybody. Any person. Ever. Imagine even some criminal on death row. You shouldn't be glad. You obviously don't have to actively mourn these people like OK they're not your loved ones for you to mourn them. They're not """"good enough people"""" for you to mourn them. But death of any kind should never produce you joy. You should feel bad in some way like man that's a human life that was lost. Even if that person was genuinely evil you should at least feel like ugh look they chose to be like this and now died as a consequence, this is frustrating but ultimately tragic.

Does human life mean so little to us that we can just slap a panel onto somebody and then their death becomes a laughing stock?? And in this context we're not even talking about scary, violent people. Just some people who "have too much money and free time". Call it hubris if you want but does hubris make you want to laugh? This is a tragedy here.

In other words @irishironclad roll that post

He’d loved the unfamiliar sense of safety that their defeat had brought. The security that could only come with power. The ability to control things. Yes, that was what he’d loved best of all.

Stop Being Evil

If I linked you to this while telling to stop being evil, I have to say some really harsh things to you, but I know you are acting from place of really meaning to be good, and you can be good. If you listen, redemption is literally just one choice away.

If you are anyone else: it is of utmost importance that you understand that the people this is aimed at need to hear something like this, and they need to hear it from all of us. You may want to say it differently, or say something else, or say nothing at all. But for that to work, they first have to hear this enough times, from enough people.

Normally I try to be nuanced, compassionate, and so on. I am especially big on "thoughts and feelings are only bad in so far as they set up cognetic openings or otherwise habitualize our cognition in ways that cause unethical actions."

But if I had to be an unrelenting hardline zealot about anything, if I had to pick something I would summarily put people to death for, if there was something I had to pick to persecute without any mercy or room for compromise, it would be people who both enjoy and support causing excess suffering to wrongdoers and bad people. So if I told you to stop being evil and linked here:

The way you enjoy and support causing suffering to wrongdoers and bad people is evil.

If you just enjoy it, but you would never make or support choices that cause more suffering than necessary - you get a pass. If you are sometimes tempted, but you realize it is wrong - you get a pass. If you support causing suffering only when no good option exists that would cause less suffering - you get a pass.

Even if you participate in "yeah! that piece of shit got what they deserved!" when a bad person or wrongdoer suffers, so long as when someone says "umm, that's a horrible thing actually" you immediately agree that it is bad to inflict it on anyone, and explain that everyone hearing your words also agrees with that - even you get a pass.

But anything more than that? Even a little bit? Then you are fucking evil. You are vile. You are the closest thing to people whose thoughts and feelings are actually bad, harmful, and dangerous. Your combination of uncritical and unnuanced enjoyment and support of suffering is the closest thing to true evil that exists in the world. You deserve every bit of suffering you support until you realize that no one ever deserves it.

Until you fix this, you are the worst part of humanity, because at least the other monsters either don't understand the suffering they cause, or they embrace being what others consider monstrous. You understand and yet you dare think that this is how people should be. I would exterminate everyone who thinks like this without hesitation if I could, and I am sorry if that has to include you, I'd like to make you better instead, but if it came down to it, this is that important.

But I know you want to be good. That's why you only feel this way towards the bad people. You have a powerful righteous desire for justice. You see bad things, you really want to do something about it, and you wisely see that to fix the bad things we have to fix the people doing bad things. That matters. That's valuable. That's good. And if you just aim it a little better, it will flip from doing evil to doing good. All you need to do that is:

Never treat suffering as good just because the one who is suffering is bad.

Just to be clear, the "stop being evil" post I just posted is profoundly more positive, constructive, and softened than I initially drafted it, and I'm like half convinced it actually has to be just the condemnation.
